Subject: Selective spin-up

Message-ID: <43D2EBC1.1000007@xs4all.nl> (raw)
I recently extended my raid array with a 9th drive, and I find that the
300 watt PSU I use is insufficient to start the system. What happens is
that I activate the machine, the machine starts powering up for 3
seconds orso (spinning all the hard drives up about half way) then power
cuts out. I've heard that it is possible to spin up disks one at a time
or in groups, but cannot find any such option in the BIOS (Asus A8N-E
board). Any ideas?
What's fun however is that if I press the power button again immediately
after it powers down (while the drives are still half way spinned up),
it will have enough power to spin up the disks all the way, and the
system starts normally. It runs rock solid after that.
